Well that logic has been refuted, Kimerly-Clark announced in October it developed a new tubeless toilet paper roll.
The company uses a “special winding process” that keeps the roll round(ish) and allows you to use even the very last piece of tissue without having to worry about glue.
Scott Naturals Tube-Free is for sale in the Northeast part of the country at Sam's Club and Wal-Mart. If these test sales show high interest, the brand will be made available nationally.
Most consumers toss, rather than recycle, empty tubes.
The 17 billion toilet paper tubes produced annually in the USA account for 160 million pounds of trash, according to Kimberly-Clark estimates, and could stretch more than a million miles placed end-to-end. That's from here to the moon and back — twice.
It's nice a company is recognising the importance of making everyday items more eco-friendly and helping to make the public more aware.
I wonder how much time and money was spend on research and development of this product. Would the money had been better spent advertising to people to remind them to recycle the toilet paper rolls?
Do you recycle your TP tubes?
I do. And if the new toilet paper roll is wrapped in paper, I also recycle that.
We only have one world and we must leave it a better place for the generations to come.
Please sign my comment and promise to recycle your empty toilet paper tubes.
